Spring Cleaning

            Not that spring has finally come, the only bad part of spring has come quick. Spring cleaning, all the things that were left out all winter under a couple of feet of snow are spread out everywhere, things you don't even recognize are found once the snow melts. The thing in the worse shape was our boat. The boat never made it to barn last fall and we didn't put a boat cover on. All of the snow from the winter and rain from the spring has been collecting in the boat and even though the plug was out, the boat was leaning forward away from drainage hole. Normally, I can lift the front of the boat up myself

Some of the ice collecting in the boat. 

to put a object under it , but it took my dad, uncle, cousin, and me to lift up the boat so it could drain. The boat took over a day until all the water was drained. We also left the two batteries in the boat all winter so we took them out of the boat and started charging them. Luckily the batteries are both still good and are now fully charged. The next step was to open all the drawers to let them dry, so we can remove all the leaves and other garbage. There are still two things left to do with the boat. The first thing we have to do is fix a wheel. One of the wheels on the trailer has a whole in it and we will have to either buy another wheel or find the hole and fix the wheel. The second thing we have to do is find another screw for the motor. There are two screws for the lower unit to put in lower unit lube. We only found one of the screws and will probably have but another screw of the same size. We are trying to get these things done as soon as possible because almost all the ice if of lakes in the area and fishing opener has already passed.
